Realized that somehow i had the nutritional info for eggs recorded incorrectly on day 1, and have based every single day off of this info. As a result, my daily calories are 200-300 lower for many days, and protein is lower too. Currently somewhat annoyed. I feel like I have an idea of what to eat now, so I've stopped blogging as it was a drain on my time, and in the end I couldn't even get the fucking numbers right, it seems.

More later.

Fuck yeah. Feel like I finally hit a stride. 2400 calories, 200+ grams or protein, 20+ miles of cycling (on my fixed gear that is basically equivalent to a 12mile run!), and kept the carbs in check. I was monster hungry after the second ride.

Stopped at wallgreens on the return leg of the second ride, and picked up ketogenic test strips. Suspicions confirmed:

Went out with my parents today (Sunday) and got a bit off schedule, forgetting later on that I'd already had an apple, fucking up my carbs for the day. Dizziness etc has prettymuch gone away, which is nice. Generally not hungry except at the times you see me eat, provided I think about eating the food available to me. Of course, if at any point I think about.. say.. French toast, or fresh sourdough, I am always hungry.

DAILY TOTALS: 1748 calories, 113g fat, 48g carb, 132g protein

Actually decided to have a bit of a life for once (hey, it's Saturday!), so I fell behind on my eating. Didn't exercise though so my calorie needs were lessened too, I guess.

11:30 - 3 eggs, 1/8th cup cheese, 1/4th cup cashew. (eggs: 513 cal, 39g fat, 1g carb, 33g protein) (Cashews: 170 cal, 14g fat, 9g carb, 5g protein) (Cheddar: 110 cal, 9g fat, 1g carb, protein 6g)

DAILY TOTALS: 2143 calories, 126g fat, 121g carb, 165g protein

Still trying to workout the optimal daily meal plan that I can just rinse and repeat. So far, day 1 looks like a winner, except for maybe another egg or two and some cheese to add calories. Since day one I seem to be drifting further towards too equilateral of a dietary balance (today was 30% fat, 29% carb, 40% protein), compared to Tuesday's 32/21/46. It was nice to have a bit of normal food today though (Indian), compared to my usual "fake meat and eggs."

When climbing tonight a hold that was improperly bolted came loose, sending me tumbling to the floor, and lightly injuring a tendon in my hand... hopefully it's feeling better tomorrow. I traversed 100+ft around the gym a few times, as I am more seriously starting to train endurance in climbing, as I feel my bouldering technique has plateaued for the moment.

My prior feeling of dizzyness is gradually fading, although I still do not feel as strong climbing as I did before (and am floundering on stuff that was only somewhat challenging for me just a week ago). Hoping my metabolism gets with the program in the next few days. Planning to pickup flax seed oil tomorrow (I lost my almost new container of it in the move! lame..) to add a TBSP to each protein shake.


1:37am - Protein shake. 1 cup soy milk, 1 scoop whey protein (28g), 1 cube ice. (soymilk: 90 cal, 3.5g fat, 8g carb, 7g protein) (whey: 130 cal, 3g carb, 28g protein)

12:15am - 2 vegan (boca) burger patties, dollop of veganaise. (patties: 200cal, 2g fat, 16g carb, 36g protein) (veganaise: 180 cal, 18g fat)

11:00pm - 1 apple (sliced), 2tsp organic peanut butter. 1/2 cup of apple sauce. 1/4 cup cashews. (apple: 80 cal, 22g carb, 1g protein) (pb: 210 cal, 16g fat, 6g carb, 8g protein) (Cashews: 170 cal, 14g fat, 9g carb, 5g protein) (apple sauce: 60 cal, 15g carb)

7:15pm - Navrattan Korma (Indian vegetable & cheese sauce dish). (420 cal, 30g fat, 33g carb, 12g protein)

Went a bit higher on calories than I'd intended, but I'm sure Jeralee will be happy, haha. Protein is plenty high. Fat is also higher than I am comfortable with, but I imagine I'll be told "not to worry" that "fat doesn't make you fat." We'll see.

DAILY TOTALS: 1925 calories, 122g fat, 104g carb, 182g protein

Steppin' my intake up a notch. Added cheese to dinner, plus an extra egg, and some nuts and other stuff. Still feeling lightly dizzy/bleh. Ran five miles of hills in moderate rain. Had a side ache immediately that stuck with me the whole run (this diet doesn't want to afford my usual requisite 2-3hrs of no food/water before runs!), but the run was okay. Finished in 49:00, with some minor coordination problems (trouble getting my key in the deadbolt, and trouble balancing to take my shoes off), which is highly unusual.



2:17am - 5.0 miles of hill running. Took a different route accidentally, resulting in only a 21% max grade, instead of the normal 28% grade (!!).

11:40pm - 3 eggs (scrambled) with 1/4 cup of cheddar. 1/4 cup of cashews (roasted with sea salt). 80z plain yogurt, 8 raspberries, 6 strawberries.

DAILY TOTALS: 1597 calories, 98g fat, 64g carb, 140g protein

Okay, so 1600 calories is too few, and 140g protein is too low as well. Basically I didn't do the totals until the next morning, so I just went by "what felt like 2000" and I was low, because this seemed like a shitload of food haha. Without bread/rice/noodles, it's hard to get my calories, I guess. I will step it up a notch!

Also feeling rather dizzy. Had an okay day climbing (not super strong, but not weak). Just a general feel of "bleh," like I am lightly hungover.
